With tensions brewing between India and China at the border, the Confederation of All India Traders -- an organisation that represents the nation's shopkeepers -- has urged celebrities to stop endorsing Chinese products.

Currently, quite a few B-town bigwigs are brand ambassadors of various Chinese products.

Another Chinese mobile phone brand OPPO has three Bollywood celebs endorsing the product.

While Ranbir Kapoor has been signed on as the brand icon for the Reno series, OPPO has roped in Katrina Kaif and rapper Badshah as its 'Brand Friends'.
